jet boat
Propellerless river craft
A jet boat is a watercraft propelled by a jet of water rather than an external propeller.
An engine-driven pump draws water from beneath the hull and expels it through a nozzle at the stern, providing thrust and steering.
Jet boats excel in shallow water where propellers would strike bottom: We took a jet boat up the river through rapids.
